>> One trick to avoiding this problem is create as few new tables as possible
in your program - since it's the tables that are garbage collected. For
instance, if
you're doing vector math with tables like: newtable = table1:add_(table2)
Instead of creating an returning a new table, have the operation apply to
the first table: table1 = table1:add_(table2)
Just to clarify. Is it only the table which are collected? What about numbers,
functions and user objects? Are these not collected until a lua_close()?
In the event of function redefinition say,
function x()
print (5)
end
x = function()
print(6)
end
Will the first x be collected since the reference count is 0?
